Wrestlemania 26- All Purpose Thread (Do NOT post entire Mania cards in here)

[AnthonyMango/NoFate007]

Doesn't everyone realize that they just did the "friend turns heel on his tag team partner best friend because of a multi-man title shot" angle at the last ppv with Batista/Mysterio? They seriously want to have DX do it at the very next one? Apparently it's not just the WWE that does things too many times too often, it's the fans as well haha

DX is selling merchandise, getting huge pops, and for the most part they're being one of those entertaining aspects of Raw right now. Am I getting a little tired of it? In some ways. It's more so that I'm getting tired of them coming out, buddying up with the guest star, and making matches at the beginning of each and every Raw, as opposed to "I'm tired of HBK and HHH being DX". But there's no need for one of them to turn heel on the other one right now, ESPECIALLY when it comes to WrestleMania. They've got too many potential matches for WM that they don't need to throw a spot on the card away for another HHH/HBK match. Then you have to factor that when HBK retires within the next few years, he'll want to have a huge match with HHH - same for Taker and Kane, which a lot of people are trying to predict will happen at WM26 as well (and, again, "they do the same thing over and over, but I hope they have two "brothers/friends against each other" angles at the same ppv"? c'mon). If they do Taker/Kane and-or HHH/HBK at Mania this year, who the hell is going to be excited about it in 2-3 years when Taker and HBK retire and do the same thing?

I think it's much more likely that we'll see DX in a tag team match for the unified titles at WrestleMania or that HHH and HBK will have separate matches on the card, with people they want to feud with separately. Word is that they really like Swagger, so I wouldn't be too surprised if they had Swagger get a title shot at the Royal Rumble against Cena (as he's being given test shots at house shows right now) and then start a feud with HHH or HBK for WrestleMania based off the Elimination Chamber. HBK, I still have a feeling he's going to have a match with Punk, but of course that's impossible to predict right now. I don't think they're planning on doing HHH/HBK at WrestleMania, nor do I think either one of them is turning heel because of the Survivor Series match. It's being teased way too much and they just did it with Batista at Bragging Rights...if they were to repeat it, it'd be such a groan moment.

 

[Jack-Hammer]

I've got no real interest in watching them wrestle against one another. I've seen it time and time again and the outcome is almost always the same. I especially don't want to see them go at it for a third time at WrestleMania 26. It'd just be a waste of a match and everyone's time, particularly since Kane is nowhere near the level of the Undertaker anymore.

As for a tag team situation, eh I dunno. Neither Taker or Kane is exactly a Chatty Kathy. One reason why Jeri-Show works for me is because of Jericho's work on the mic. Jeri-Show also has the classic big man/small man, powerhouse/speed and skill aspects going for them. I know it's a similar formula to what other teams in the WWE have, but Jericho's charisma is just that it factor. Taker and Kane are, for the most part, two stoic giants that just don't give me that same vibe.

 

[executioner13]

NOOOOO, HHH always wins. He will never put over to somebody young or big. At Breaking Point, HBK got beat, not HHH. What I'm saying is HHH will win because he basiclly control matches he does. He had to marry the boss's daughter. I don't like HHH. So, if they would have another match. I would say HHH win, Stephanie announces a divorce and restarts the match. HBK win and HHH is fired or retires from the WWE.

It is brilliant! I am a mini Vince

 

[ianfromlondon]

I'm not sure where the current incarnation of DX is leading

From raw over the last month it is obvious whats next for dx and thats to win the tag belts from big show and y2j
basically they been interupting jerishow for weeks and being knocked out by show and so on et they have not yet got a tag title match
thats why they are still doing the thing with the 4 of them getting ready for after S.Series

as for wrestlemania i dont think hhh vs hbk will happen i got the feeling hbk will face 1 of legacy to build a new star because hbk is mr wrestlemania and by putting 1 of them up agaisnt gbk as wrestlemania will shoot whoever it is into the main event spot by having a 5 star match

 

[executioner13]

Taker lose at Survivor Series. Kane helps him and they get the titles at TLC thus breaking the Jerishow because they were supposed to be the true phenoms of the WWE. Both win at the Rumble. Lose the titles at Elimination Chamber to Hart Dynasty. Taker says that it was always Kane's fault thus making him heel. At, Wrestlemania they battle for the title in a triple threat against Punk. Punk wins the world and they both retire or take a break because they lost to Punk and the streak broken. They recruit some henchmen and form a new Ministry with Paul Bearer, so they can never lose.

Dark Brilliant! I am a mini Vince?

 

[SavageTaker]

I really hope that they don’t plan on doing this match again, for the third time at Wrestlemania. The actual matches at the previous matches weren’t anything special so it’s very doubtful that they would have some awesome match if they wrestled again. And plus, they’ve already had plenty of matches against each other without counting Wrestlemania. I really don’t want to see this.

What they should be doing is putting Undertaker vs. wrestlers that are actually entertaining today or wrestlers that he can have good matches with. Or they should put him up against wrestlers that can carry him but still make sure they both look good. Undertaker is fragile right now and it would help if they had him wrestling a guy like Chris Jericho at WM. Someone that is still young, someone that could benefit from just wrestling him at WM, and someone that can make them both look good in the ring. That’s the type of wrestlers ‘Taker needs to face at WM, not boring, slow, and wrestlers that aren’t entertaining anymore.

 

[Ziirox]

Great points. If ANYONE is going to retire HBK, HBK is going to want HHH to do it and as you guys are saying, HBK is not going to retire anytime soon. I just love it when HBK goes against HHH and someday we will have HHH vs HBK WM main event. It just really doesn't seem like the E has much going for it right now. DX is selling merch like crazy and it would be crazy to split them up I suppose. What I want to see though is much different from what the kids want to see and we in IWC are always on the back burner.

 

[attitude_hero]

We saw everything we could see form them !Everything! from 2002-2004 and i like their relationship on screen, it could be a kane/undertaker vs dx kind of thing i dont jnow but i dont want to see them feud

 

[dangerduck2]

Taker lose at Survivor Series. Kane helps him and they get the titles at TLC thus breaking the Jerishow because they were supposed to be the true phenoms of the WWE. Both win at the Rumble.

Dark Brilliant! I am a mini Vince?

YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS. Paul Bearer is kayfabe dead. Nice idea about Hart Dynasty, except for them to get over they should beat DX for the belts. Neither of these two will win the Rumble, nor be in a title match at mania.

 

[radicaliam]

I think there's a good chance HBK v. HHH will happen at mania, but even so, Survivor Series is a bit premature for a heel turn; I also think it's premature for Cena to lose the title, even though I'm no Cena fan. HBK/HHH is big enough that a world title doesn't have to be in the mix. Even if it doesn't happen, I'm sure it's being considered by creative. But in the WWE (envision Vince McMahon in over-the-top commentator voice) "Anything can happen!"

 

[jayteeERA]

If this match happens HBK should be heel, he doesn't have to lose the match. Why does HHH have to turn heel. If that happens it will be the same thing just like in 2002, except it will be WM not summerslam. If HHH and HBK are both faces then its gonna be over a title. But still wouldn't make since to me, unless somebody else was in the title picture.

SO it should be
HBK(Heel) vs HHH
HBKvsHHHvs????? (besides Orton or Cena) for the WHC

 

[Lancer]

Well, there have been rumors of HBK's retirement possibly taking place around Wrestlemania. Assuming those rumors have some truth to them, there's no other competitor that has earned the right to face Shawn Michaels in his final match more than Triple H.

Plus, there is no need to have a HHH or HBK heel turn. Just have HBK request a match with his friend out of respect and mutual admiration, a la Ric Flair leading up to Wrestlemania 24. Having a world title involved would make it that much sweeter, though Survivor Series is too premature to start this program.

Imagine it though, HBK beats HHH at Wrestlemania to capture the WWE Championship. The next night on Raw, he retires on top, vacating the title so that the next champion can be crowned in a tournament. If that doesn't bring a little prestige back to the WWE Title, who knows what will...

 

[Ziirox]

They did HHH vs HBK vs Benoit WM main event a few years ago... We don't want to be repeating Main Events like WWE has been doing seemingly every year. I suggest HHH vs HBK as a grudge match, no titles involved. As long as DX is together, neither one of them will have a title. As soon as one of them gets the belt, the other will turn heel over jealousy and because it will be a big swerve and it will also create a huge polarization effect of good guy vs bad guy which is what the E wants out of their storylines and for WM to have that type of feud again in the main event. Both HHH and HBK can create heel heat like no other (besides Jericho, Edge and Orton).

Matches I certainly DO NOT want to see at Mania include:

Cena vs (any of the following) HHH, HBK, Orton, Edge, Big Show, Jericho
HHH vs (any of the following) Orton, Cena, Batista, Jericho
HBK vs (any of the following) Orton, Cena, Jericho
Orton vs (any of the following) Cena, HBK, HHH, Batista

 

[Southwind]

I really don't care if they feud as long as this form of DX ends very soon. All this incarnation of DX does is cut down and degrade young talent it, what sickens me the most is that they act like they enjoy it !

While another HBK HHH feud would bore the crap outta me, it beats having a couple of 40+ year olds running around acting like teenagers. Demeaning young talent because they know their time has passed.

 

[dave_theanimal_batista]

The only way I would like to see Kane v.s. Undertaker again at Mania is if it were a Hell in a Cell match and they done it where it looked like they just beat the holy high hell out of each other and maybe both do a blade job and juice like crazy they would be cool, however that won't happen because of WWE's PG rating.

 

[MrCharisma]

i think this is going to happen as this could be takers last year and its already known he has offered the match to kane and told him he will be the he wants to end the streak just hope they are both face and they shake hands or something at the end to show each other respect

I'd definitely not want to see this, the match is one thing but to have the streak end by a wrestler who isn't over as much as he was when he had the mask and recently with losses to khali and even before that losing to lesser men. It would be a big mistake to have Kane end the streak.

I think there is still enough time to build a decent feud with the undertaker, you never know with Vince, as he may just find himself in the ring with the Undertaker, I'd prefer Jericho or somebody else but this is WWE and you just never know. I don't see his streak ending, and I believe he will retire that way

 

[CjCheeze]

If D-Generation X ever broke up (again and again), HHH would go heel. Shawn Michaels is loved too much by the fans to be disliked. I am pulling for HBK to win the Triple Threat at Survivor Series just to get that last title run in. And I think the only man that I would like to see wrestle Mr. Wrestlemania at Wrestlemania is John Morrison, that match would be epic.

 

[TheTruNoLimit]

I'd definatly not want to see this, the match is one thing but to have the streak end by a wrestler who isn't over as much as he was when he had the mask and recently with losses to khali and even before that losing to lesser men. It would be a big mistake to have Kane end the streak.

I don't see his streak ending, and I believe he will retire that way

Actually, there are no recent losses to Khali. Kane just beat him back to back PPV's a few months ago and then took him out with an injury angle. As a matter of fact, Kane has lost only 2 matches since returning at the Bash, and they were to Chris Jericho and Batista. And he's somehow won at 4 straight PPV's on top of that, what have you been watching?

 

[INDYjon22]

I can understand the rationale in WWE for wanting to do this match. It would basically be the equivalent of the Austin/Rock trilogy but the difference is that we didnt see Austin/Rock on a weekly basis or even a monthly one like we did with Kane and Taker. Now they havent feuded in a couple years and it is a little overdue but I dont think they should do it at Wrestlemania again. Maybe if this was indeed Takers last Mania I would have a different opinion but I dont think it will be his last one so he should be pited against younger stars to help make them look good.

 

[dansaun77]

They are in fact planning on going with HBK vs HHH at Wrestlemania 26, just who is going to play the heel and face is yet to be determined. I think everybody is expecting the Triple H heel turn, but we saw that back in 2002, far too boring and predictable. What better way to get them both looking great out of this is if Cena pins HHH at Survivor after "HBK inadvertantly' superkickcs HHH, costing him the match. The next night on Raw, HHH confronts HBK on Raw and its all and accident etc blah blah blah. The following week, or the December ppv, they have a triple threat rematch, except this time HBK purposely sweet chins HHH, turning HBK heel and hopefully a final run as the killer promo heel that he was, and Triple H in the face role. There feud could even go thru to the Rumble, hold it off the turn until then, have HBK eliminate HHH from the Rumble, the have the breakup the next night on Raw. Either way, I do not have a problem them two, one on one at Mania. It has not been done.(3 way with Benoit doesnt count as a one on one obviouisly). And keep the title out of the match, that way it leaves it open to being anybodied guess who will win.

 

[dbrdss]

i would love to see triple h or shawn michaels turn heel, but i dont think hbk can afford to turn heel this late in his career. think about it HBK turns heel after survivor series, fueds with triple h (most likely until wrestlemania) and then he'll have about a year or 2 left. usually heels stay as heels for a while, and as you know heels dont get inducted into the Hall Of Fame, thats the only reason I dont want HBK to turn heel but besides that I'd love it.

Also maybe give HBK one more wwe title reign, that would be good.

if triple H turned heel that would be great too, he probably plays a heel better than a face, because he just THAT DAMN GOOD!

 

[SimplyJay]

NOPE NOPE NOPE. ITs not gonna b this wrestlemania. I want both of these wrestlers to wrestle on wrestlemania but at the WRESTLEMANIA(probably next yr) where both will have their last match where Kane goes over. THis way we can remember both Kane n Undertaker. It will provide some extra credits to Both Kanes n undertakers legacy.

 

[Vee Dub Represent]

Can anyone else picture this
HHH V Cena V HBK at s.series .... Cena beats HBK
HHH Gets so mad he basically destroys hbk - telling him hes past it, hes not the old hbk ... so a triple h heel turn. He basically beats the crap out of hbk with a sledgehammer etc
Tells the audience on raw the next night how he was always the best thing about dx ... tells shawn michaels he should retire like flair
Wants to fight hbk at wrestlemania so shawn can have one last wrestlemania moment
HBK responds after a few weeks out with his response - basically says no - i will not fight you
At the rumble HHH beats cena for the title, hbk is in the last 2 of the rumble and hhh costs hbk the win so the other guy can (Jericho i reckon but thats off the subject) win.
Hbk says he will not fight hhh
So hunter sticks the title on the line at wrestlemania - says to shawn come on if you win you get the title, if you lose you retire
This way we get to see a monster heel turn by triple h - going back to his roots
shawn cutting some great promos
And at Wrestlemania hbk wins and has his wrestlemania moment and becomes champ again (even for a month)

This is more or less exactly how their feud went in 2002. It would be a total rehash if thats how things went again this time around. Shit, HBK even had the one month title reign that was supposed to be nostalgic at the time. The only way they could feud and it be fresh is if Shawn turns heel. If it happens it will be alot of fun because we all know how great he is at that. There will be lots of time still for HHH to have a run as a badass motherfucker so there is no need for him to turn now. HBK's clock however is ticking.

 

[The Gribbler]

I really think this would suck - I mean they have decent matches together but I am really getting used to Taker putting on the match of the night at Mania and I don't think that he could do that with Kane.

And Kane end the streak? Horrible idea.

Seriously, Kane isn't going any higher on the card and he is happy where he is, it would do Nothing for him to end the streak.

Just My Opinion

 

[The Gribbler]

I don't think I need to see this again. But as someone else said; if HBK was the heel it might make for something interesting, I think HBK could do with one more heel turn before he hands up the boots.

Just My Opinion
